Types of visa
If you're already in the UK, you might not be able to enrol until you've made a Student visa application. It depends what type of visa you currently have.
A Student visa application requires a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS). NTU will assign a CAS to you.
To be able to complete your enrolment and start your studies at NTU, you must provide:
- copies of your current visa and passport, or
- evidence that you have made the correct visa application.
Contact us for further guidance if:
- the type of visa you hold isn't listed below
- you're unsure if your current immigration permission allows you to study at NTU.
If you're an EU or EEA student, refer to our information for EU and EEA students.
